130.95 is what percent of 140 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 140 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 140, so we can write it down as 100%=140.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=140
2) x%=130.95
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=140/130.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.95 is what percent of 140

100%/x%=140/130.95
(100/x)*x=(140/130.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0691103474609*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0691103474609) to get x
100/1.0691103474609=x
93.535714285714=x
x=93.535714285714

now we have:
130.95 is 93.535714285714% of 140
